Therapists Beginning With V in Nova Scotia
I am a MSW student practicing under the supervision of Brian MacAulay. I work with individuals who are experiencing distress, often stemming from trauma in their lives. Trauma can be characterized not only by a single significant event that disrupts daily functioning but also by chronic exposure to negative or harmful circumstances. Whether it’s a one-time event or prolonged adversity, these experiences can deeply affect how a person copes with everyday life. People I work with have goals of regaining a sense of safety and control, processing traumatic memories, reducing trauma related symptoms, and re-stablishing identity.

Life can be hard. We all go through times when the daily tasks of living seem overwhelming and the joy we used to feel is gone. Many of us try to tough it out. We put on a good face to the outside world but inside we are in despair. If this sounds like you and you're ready to make a change, therapy can help. I work with adults and older teens who are suffering from a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma and career issues.

Welcome! I am a Clinical Social Worker offering individual therapy to adults seeking support in healing their relationship to Self, attachment wounds, and relational traumas. You might be in an anxious-avoidant dance, noticing painful relationship patterns, feeling stuck in a loop of relational ambivalence, or want to resolve what's blocking deeper connections. You might be navigating difficult family relationships and questioning estrangement and boundaries. Perhaps you are noticing a harsh inner-critic, self-doubt, the urge to people please, or a disconnection from Self (the person you are and want to be; at your core).
